how can I eliminate a deleted macro ?

[Cristian Secara]

I tried to setup a macro. I first created it, then I erased it.

Now, each time I open the .vsd file, the macro virus warning appears. Of
course I can disable the macro virus protection, but I don't want to do
that.

How (where) can I totally erase any trace of my own macro attempt ? Its name
is no longer listed in the Macro... menu (Alt+F8).

Thank you.
Best wishes,
Cristi

Did you try a SaveAs?

The SaveAs will not work, but the wiseman Graham has a few suggestions in
his book "Visio 2002 Developer's Survival Pack".

1) Save in XML format; use a text editor to delete the Project Section;
Reopen in Visio and save as a regular Visio file.

2) Disable VBA using Tools>Optios> Advanced; Open the problem drawing; Set
up a shape with an action tht fires the command.
SomeActionCell = DOCMD(1590)
Run that command
Save your now-project-free document
Don't forget to renable VBA.

I am using Visio 2000 SR-1. This one seems to have no .XML export option.
Sorry I have not mentioned my version of Visio from the beginning.

Ok, I will try that.
Thank you for your fast answer.

If that does not work woth Visio 2000, you could upgrade or find someone
with Visio 2002 to remove the macros for you.
